Depends a little on HOW little light you're talking about. The winner in the super low-light category is Aspidistra (aka "cast iron plant"). There are newer cultivars of this plant, including a very pretty one called "Cosmos" which features white speckles on a very deep bluish green leaf.
Other low-light tolerant plants would be Snake plant, Gold dust plant, and most any variety of Pothos (aka "Devil's Ivy). Also, bear in mind that many indoor plants can have their light requirements at least partially met by artificial lighting.
Check your phone listings for plant rental companies. These folks are in the business of placing indoor plants in all types of settings, from brightly-lit executive corner offices to more dimly lit high-end restaurants. They could give you advice on the best plants to suit your space.
